The '''A-20''', known as ''Autoroute 20'' and officially named ''Autoroute Jean-Lesage'' is one of the oldest highway infrastructure of [[Canada]]. You might indeed notice it when transiting through this major way that connects [[Montreal]] to [[Quebec city]] by the south shore of the St-Lawrence river further West becoming the [[H-401 (Ontario)|H-401]] in [[Ontario]] towards [[Toronto]] and stretching further East into Gaspesia and nearly connecting [[New Brunswick]] which can be reached by continuing on the '''Route 185''' and becomes the [[H-Route 2 (NB)|Route 2]] in [[New Brunswick]].

The A-20 is part of the [[Trans-Canada Highway|Transcanadian Highway]] in nearly all of its length with exception of the part West of [[Montreal]].

=== Section West - [[Ontario]] border and [[Montreal Metropolitan]] ===

====In [[Monteregie]] and [[Montreal Metropolitan]]====

While in [[Montreal]] and leaving the [[Montreal Metropolitan]] leaving the area, the A-20 connects on [[Montreal Metropolitan|MontrealMonteregie]] Island with the [[A-40 (Quebec)|A-40]] by taking either the [[A-13 (Quebec)|A-13]] - [[A-15 (Quebec)|A-15]] or [[A-25 (Quebec)|A-25]] northwards for a few km. Around the International Airport of [[Dorval Airport|Dorval]], the ''Autoroute Cote de Liesse'' (A-520) act as a connector between the A-20, the international airport and the [[A-40 (Quebec)|A-40]].

It also crosses the path of other major highways such as the [[A-10 (Quebec)|A-10]] towards the [[Estrie|Eastern Townships]] Townships and the [[A-30 (Quebec)|A-30]] which act as a By-Pass to the Southern [[Montreal Metropolitan]] ''(In Construction)''. The A-20 crosses officially the St-Lawrence onto [[Montreal]] on the 'Pont Champlain' together with the A-10 and the A-15. Although the 'Lafontaine Tunnel' marks the end of the [[A-25 (Quebec)|A-25]] to become the A-20 Westbound and the 'Pont Jacques-Cartier' as well as the 'Pont Victoria' goes direct from the A-20 on the St-Lawrence South Shore to downtown [[Montreal]].
